If you continue to not use your thumb I cannot think of any of those mentioned layout methods being of any benefit to you. They assume you use the thumb as far as I know.
There are not too many ways to mess up your game faster than trying to maximize revs and hook. Bowling is about repetition. When guys try to max out one or both they tend to "hit" one release while "missing" the next one or two. Strike, split, whiff, etc.
My advice is to try to find something you can repeat reasonably well with your current style without maximizing any one part. Muscle is the enemy to a good, solid, repeatable game.
As far as layouts go, you should probably stick to something very stable, such as
2 1/2" off your PAP and below the fingers for added stability, then go from there.
One of my favorite balls right now is my Melee, drilled 2" from PAP. I can play very close to friction and it rolls so predictably, while the polish helps it to hit. Is it the big, sexy hook? No way! But it allows me to beat up on those guys when the lanes get drier, and everything for them is skid/snap, with no effort at all on my part.
